Abstract
A fascine capable of conforming to the contours of a supporting surface, comprises a core of loose cylindrical pipes disposed within a surrounding sleeve of similar pipes transversely and continuously inter-connected by flexible ties. Binding straps attached to the sleeve are reeved so as to cause axial pleating of the sleeve when tensioned, thereby to bind the core into rigid cylindrical form. The fascine is transported in bound condition and the binding straps slackened on deployment.
